Blind date: ‘I studied Mandarin Chinese in college. He smiled and immediately responded in Chinese.'
GRETCHEN F.: 26 / data scientist What makes her a catch: She thinks about others a lot and values relationships. Her interests: Reading, running 7 P.M. KRASI, BOSTON Lots of Laughs Aldis I arrived early. I reviewed the wine list awkwardly and tried not to look expectant. Gretchen He was sitting in the restaurant as I walked in. He was very handsome and well dressed in a baby-blue pinstripe button-down and khakis. Aldis I remember thinking she was beautiful even before it was clear that she was actually my date. She was wearing a blue dress and had a beautiful smile. I botched the greeting and did this weird handshake-hug-handshake movement that she gracefully turned into a hug. Advertisement Gretchen I mistakenly reached out for a handshake then converted it to a hug, which made us both laugh. Aldis asked if I had been to Krasi before. We laughed when we realized that both of us had requested it — he had been there before, and my friends had recommended it — for our dinner. Greek to Mandarin Aldis From the first moment, there was not a single lull in conversation. Gretchen We talked about his residency program, which launched us into conversations about our ties to the medical world. At some point, we moved on to running. I found it particularly interesting that we both run as a way to release energy and are not very interested in racing, unique in the distance running world. Advertisement Aldis We were there for two hours and talked nonstop. We shared a lot of interests. We both run, are early birds, and carry a book wherever we go. Gretchen I mentioned that I studied Mandarin Chinese in college. He smiled and immediately responded in Chinese. I tried to keep up, but he definitely has a better command of the language than I do. I was shocked we had this in common. Aldis She was a great listener and there was a lot of laughter. I realized I had a crush on her pretty early on. Gretchen What was surprisingly most attractive was how he lit up when he talked about his family and friends. He seemed to really care about other people, something I really value. Aldis We had the Robola white wine. Appetizers included charred eggplant, asparagus, and chickpea fritters. We had a delicious fish dish, as well as souvla — probably my favorite. Gretchen I had never before tasted anything like any of the dishes [we had] and was so impressed. We wrapped up with the rice pudding. In Agreement Aldis The waiter floated the idea of going to a speakeasy nearby, but we are both early birds and had work the next day. Gretchen The time passed so quickly, I couldn't believe that it had been over two hours. Aldis We exchanged numbers. I did ask if she would want to meet up for another date and she said yes. Gretchen We hugged and parted ways. Second Date? Aldis That's the plan! Gretchen I would love to continue our conversations and see what else we may have in common. Grading the Date Aldis / A Gretchen / B+ Advertisement Go on a blind date. We'll pick up the tab. Fill out an application at . Follow us on Twitter or Instagram @dinnerwithcupid.

South Korea's Hybe opens China office amid hopes of a K-pop reversal from Beijing
South Korea's largest K-pop agency Hybe has established its first office in China — amid signs that Beijing is lifting its unofficial ban on K-pop shows. The agency behind global sensation BTS has been preparing to establish itself in China since last year, a Hybe official said recently. Hybe's China office — launched on April 2 and announced on Thursday — is its fourth overseas branch. But while the agency has launched local groups such as &Team in Japan and Katseye in the United States, it has no plans to debut rookie teams in China, according to South Korean state media KBS. There have been indications that Beijing might be softening its stance on K-pop in the face of weak domestic consumption and stalled trade talks with China. And in another sign of thawing relations, China announced its decision to waive visas for South Koreans last November. South Korea followed suit in March 2025 with its plans to offer a visa exemption to Chinese visitors in the third quarter. Even more recently and on the K-pop front, Hybe announced plans to sell its entire stake in SM Entertainment to China's Tencent Music. The move is a testament to a strengthening relationship between Tencent and major K-pop companies, Junhyun Kim, a Korea internet gaming and entertainment research analyst at HSBC, said in a recent note. If K-pop becomes more widely recognized in China, Kim said, he expects there will be increased use of fan platforms like Hybe's Weverse and Dear U Bubble, which are messaging platforms between fans and artists. But the path to a K-pop comeback in China won't necessarily be smooth. K-pop group Epex canceled a concert in Fuzhou that was scheduled for May 31, citing "issues in the local region." The performance would have been the first concert by an all-Korean idol group in mainland China since 2016. Hybe's shares fell 1.47% in Friday trading hours. With other industries under pressure from tariffs, a U-turn from China on its unofficial K-pop ban could inject fresh momentum into South Korea's entertainment industry. "In contrast with semiconductors or autos, where global trade policy directly impacts supply chains and pricing, K-pop consumption is far less sensitive to protectionist measures," Shinhan Securities said in a note in April. "Core revenue drivers—streaming, concerts, and fan content—are digital and intangible, making them immune to cross-border tariffs," CGS said, adding that even if fans buy albums and merchandise, tariff exposure is "negligible," given low unit prices and loyal fan demand.
